A Special Note About Children
Children are not eligible to use our service and we ask that minors (under the age
of 13) do not submit any personal information to us or use the service. Urban Span
does not collect or maintain information from those actually known to be under the

General Information Collection and Use
UrbanSpan.com is the sole owner of the information collected on the Website. We
will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways different from what
is disclosed in this policy, without first obtaining your consent. Generally, we
request this information when registering visitors to the Website or when visitors
to the Website and/or registered users request a particular service. This information
collected is used to register the user for the selected service and to contact the
user about such service (e.g. e-mail address). Information required to be submitted
to become a registered user may include name, e-mail address, license number and
street address (as well as other types of information).
Some of our services may be offered in conjunction with partner companies, affiliates
or other companies or websites with which we work. In order for us to provide these
services to you, it may be necessary for us to share your personal information with
one of such entities. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable
information except for the purpose of providing these services. If you do not want
your data to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by not using that
particular service.
Customer Service Correspondence
If you send us correspondence, including e-mails and faxes, we may retain such information
in the records of your account. We may also retain customer service correspondence
and other correspondence. We retain these records in order to measure and improve
our customer service, and to investigate potential fraud and violations of our Terms
of Use Agreement. We may, over time, delete these records if permitted by law.
Cookies
A "cookie" is a piece of data stored on a user's hard drive containing information
about the user. As part of offering and providing personalized services, we may
use cookies in an effort to save you time while on our Website. If a user rejects
the cookie, he or she may still have limited use of the Website. Generally we use
cookies to:
- Remind us who you are and to access your account information;
- Track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website;
- Estimate our audience size and measure certain traffic patterns.
IP Addresses
Every computer connected to the Internet is given an IP address. We use IP addresses
to analyze trends, administer the Website, track users' movement and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information, and our web servers do not record the e-mail addresses
of our visitors.
Sharing
As a general rule, except as described in this privacy policy, we will not disclose
any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission
or under special circumstances (such as when we believe the law requires it). We
may disclose or share aggregated demographic information with certain partners,
affiliates and advertisers, however, except as described above, this is not linked
to any personal information that can identify any individual person or company.
In addition, UrbanSpan.com may disclose account or other personal information when
we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference
with Urban Span
Urban Span may also release personal information to appropriate governmental authorities
under the following circumstances:
- Where release is required by law (for example, a subpoena) or regulation, or is
requested by a government agency conducting investigations or proceedings;
- Where our records indicate a company may be engaged in fraudulent activity or other
deceptive practices that a governmental agency should be made aware of.
As with any other business, it is possible that UrbanSpan.com in the future could
merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the
successor company would have access to the information maintained by UrbanSpan.com,
including customer account information, but would continue to be bound by this Privacy
Policy unless and until it is amended as described herein.
Links
This Website may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that we are not
responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites, as this privacy policy
applies solely to the Website. We encourage our users to remain vigilant when they
leave our Website and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that
collects personally identifiable information.
Surveys
From time-to-time our Website may request information from users via surveys. Participation
in these surveys, to the extent we run any, is completely voluntary and the user
therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address) and
demographic information (such as zip code and age level). Survey information will
be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of the
Website.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes under the
appropriate link on the
"home page" of our Website so our users are always aware
of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any,
we disclose it. The new terms shall be effective immediately upon being posted on
the Website. It is the responsibility of each user to review the latest terms from
time to time, and if any user does not agree with any updates to the privacy policy,
such user should immediately cease use of the Website and any purchased services.
